Work hw question

I have a hw question that has a box and it has the 25N force acting on it in the opposite direction of the displacement. Is this possible or is the force poining in the wrong direction. I email my teacher but he hasnt replied yet.
You can view a diagram i made HERE

You do just that, only the angle is now 210 instead of 30, that's all. (x's direction is to the right, so the angle with that direction isn't 30 but 180+30=210).
So you'll get exactly the negative value you got, which would mean to body does work on the guy that applies the force... (For instance, it could accelerate something that would be attached to it).
